Elie Kircher

With a background in Physics (Polytech Lausanne), I transitioned into Supply Chain Management (Paris-Dauphine). I assist SMEs and mid-sized industrial companies in structuring their operations and automating their data flows.

My areas of expertise:

Industrial Planning & Scheduling: Designing production planning tools, scheduling operations, and prioritizing workloads — to move from Excel-based planning to structured management.

Inventory & Order Management: Developing inventory tracking tools, managing orders, and arbitrating priorities based on actual workload.

Financial Data Pipelines: Deploying complete ETL processes (SAP Business One, SQL Server, MariaDB, Power Query) to synchronize sales, budget, and forecast data in real-time.

Modeling & Dashboards: Relational databases, business views, and reporting for real-time tracking of actual vs. budget vs. forecast by product family, item, customer, and week.

Skills Management & Training: Tools for assigning and tracking training by activity — who can do what, who to train as a priority.

Supply Chain Training & Awareness:

A certified Inchainge trainer for The Fresh Connection — the benchmark serious game in supply chain management. In teams of 4, your employees take on the roles of VP Purchasing, Production, Supply Chain, and Sales to turn around a struggling company. Every decision has direct financial consequences — an immersive format to embed cross-functional collaboration, S&OP trade-offs, and end-to-end thinking in your teams.

My Approach:

My dual scientific and business expertise allows me to move quickly on the technical side while staying focused on your operational objectives. I don't deliver a black box: every solution is documented, tested, and designed so your teams can master and evolve it.
